SUMMARY
Pilot Movie for the TV series. James is a daydreamer who has turned 15. He is in love with a girl, Lacey, but she was more interested another older boy (Tony Wheeler), played by Michael Biehn, who seems to be the school's cool kid with the car and prestige. He's not unkind to James but James sees him as a rival nonetheless. When James's father has to move to the city for work, James does not want to go. He tries the city high school but hates it. Eventually, he decides to run away, wanting to go back to Lacey. Along the way, he meets up with a girl, Robin, who is drifting. They stick together and, eventually, she persuades him to go back home.

1. He arrives at school driving a cabriolet-style car and gives a lift to Lacey. James daydreams that he crashes the car and James saves Lacey, but Tony 'does not make it'.
2. Junior Class election votes in Tony Wheeler as its new President. Tony gives a short speech that is basically just the one word - Thanks.
3. Tony walks past James in the school grounds while James is seated on a bench taking photos. He remarks 'Hey! Front page header', referring to the photo of the school's quarterback in the newspaper that was taken by James.
4. At the swim meet in his new school, James races two others and comes in first and is told by the coach he is a winner. He daydreams standing on a podium on 1st place with his rivals (Lindeman the quarterback who 'stole' Lacey) in 2nd place and Tony Wheeler in 3rd place, all in just swimwear. However, James now has a new crush on his lady teacher-swim coach.
